Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud marks 30 years in business with the launch of a new book and I, for my part, give their recipe for salmon with tandoori gnocchi and sorrel sauce a whirl.

We Have Ways Of Making You Eat
Francesco Mazzei designs some new pizza, pasta and salad items for Milano’s and I get to have a taste. In the end, though, the current cold weather inclines me more towards my own minestrone soup.
